Renore the Mulch.

How to Make Good Apple Butter.
Annnrfrnn AnrrIrrrlAtr

The first step is to boil down the cider
IL there is no set cauldron, large kettles
are hung upon an extemporized wooden
crane, in these new cider is concentrated
by boiling. For the best product, barrel
of cider is boiled down to eight gallons.
While the cider is being boiled, Others pre-.
pare the apples by pairing and corning, or
by quarteTiDg and removing the cores.
Good sweet apples, those which will readi-
ly cook tender are chosen. Two and a
half to three bushels of apples are required
for the barrel of cider, after it has been
concentrated, and the stirring, with a
wooden stirrer (hickory preferred), must
be continuous TO prevent scorching. The
thick, jelly-like consistency shows when
the boiling is sufficient. When the sauce
is removed from the fire, many add Gina
mon and allspice. The sauce is to be
transferred, while yet hot, to the vessels
in which it is to be kept; these should be
wooden kegs or barrels, or stoneware Jars.
Apple butter is sometimes made without
cider, using molasses and water iusteBd.
When properly made il is a most excellent
preserve, and vastly more healthful than
that which is cloying from an excess OF
sugar,

SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.
Its Possibilities Coming Within the Range
of Immediate Probability.

European interest in the possibilities OF
3 submarine navigation has received an i'm
petus from the recent performances OF the
ANordenfeldt at Constantinople. This craft,
which bears the name of her well-known
Rinventor, was brought down the Golden
Horn at a high speed through crowd of
&small boats, shot the bridge without slack
ling her rate, and was checked for her trial
$off Seraglio point. Little was to be seen of
her except the dome and the upper part of
her torpedo tube. Although in the full
strength of the Bosphorus current she was
maneuvred with the greatest ease, and on a
,peed trial as q surface boat made eight
h Knots against current running nearly five,
3 thus showing her speed to be over twelve
knots, Ordered to attack a steamboat she
n sank beneath the water and reappeared on
4 the opposite side Of the vessel, the supposi-
tion being that she had meanwhile launched
#her torpedo directly at the bottom of the
enemy's hull. The London Engineer re-
&gards the performance as a successful one,
land speculations are indulged in as to the
accessibility of using such vessels in practical
Swarfare.
It will be observed that nothing more has
been accomplished in the Nordenfeldt than
WAS achieved year ago by the American
boat Peacemaker. The Nordenfeldt employs
team for its motive power, and accordingly
& looked upon with more favor by some
nglish critics than boats designed to use
,ectricity or other motors. In the previous
Experiments with the Nordenfeldt at Lands
roma it was made evident that the crew
build remain submerged for several hours,
epending entirely upon the amount of air
aled up in the hull. In subsequent exper-
ents at Salamis it was shown that the boat
Duld be submerged thirty feet. Neverthe-
IS, it is not certain that the Nordenfeldt

lat she has made some progress in the d.

Beyond doubt a good submarine boat

&rorpedo attacks, whereas it would be of no

Hthere. But in order to be of much service

quickly, to be steered with good degree Of
accuracy under water, and to be habitable

IDAHO AND WASHINGTON.
Efforts Being Made to Have Them Ad-
mitted Into the Union.

Efforts Being Made TO HaVe Inem A0-
mitted Into the Union.
Idaho feels the impulse for statehood, and
&Senator Hearst, of California, Delegate Du-
fbois and Governor Stevenson, of Idaho,
have been taking counsel together how they
can best give the State project boom. With
i its narrow panhandle projecting clear up to
British America, Idaho is not just now in
the best conceivable shape for making q
compact and homogeneous Commonwealth.
brhe Washington Territory people propose
o improve idaho's appearance by appro-
priating its awkward panhandle and make
the new State of Washington or Tacoma
correspond nearly with the original limits of
Washington Territory. AS this would make
Idaho considerably smaller and postpone its
admission to the Union, the politicians in
early much prefer to widen the panhandle by
taking in considerable section Of Montana
Should all that part of Montana that is
north of Idaho be incorporated with the lat
ter territory, the portion of Montana left
would be of the shape and size of Wyoming
and be of ample dimensions for State when
its population shall warrant its admission.
Such a division, however, would probably
encounter strong local opposition; but
Montana can afford certainly to give up some
/ norton of its superabundant territory to its
gaunt neighbor, Idaho. The proposal of
Hearst, Stevenson and Dubois to give Idaho
several of the western counties of Montana
\ is good one 1t would accord with geography
and the general fitness of things to make the
main divide of the Rocky Mountains the
western boundary of Montana instead of, as
now, the more western Bitter Root range, and
4 to give the intervening valley to Idaho. This
would widen the panhandle ofthe latter from
! less than fifty miles to about 140 at its ex-
treme northern and narrowest point, and
make Idaho good-sized and tolerably good
shaped territory, with population considera-
&bly Increased and prospects OF statehood cor
respondingly frightened by the addition to
its territory.
idaho with the State of Nevada has nothing
Ito recommend it except the urgent need Of
1.-THE Sage Brush State for more population.
and there is no better way for it to get it than
Sby absorbing territory on which people are
willing 10 live. Idaho would unite with
Nevada as gracefully and naturally as Mich
&igan would to Ohio, or Tennessee to old
Virginia, by simply being tackled together at
&the corners. Nevada is the third largest
state in the Union, but as ninetenths OF
Mits territory is little better than a barren
#desert its immense area does not count for
much. Its statehood cannot be taken away,
&but if polygamy ever is extirpated from Utah
THAT territory might proftably be added to
Nevada, which was originally part of it.
The enlarged State would be big one,
Though smaller than Texas, and would have
the merit which Nevada does not now, and
orobably never will, possess alone, of having
people enough within its boundaries to
entitle it to representative in Congress on
The score of its population.
